Too Many Damn Vampires

It's pure over-the-top Mackie. Enough with the vampires and fanged dolls already. Perhaps they're just painted on. I would love to see this doll in person-especially the hair. That's got to be the biggest hair explosion on the planet.

Coming in August: Gold label Byron Lars Fenella Layla. This doll is also over-the-top but in a stylish and wonderful way like his entire line. The dip 'n dunk arms gotta go along with the model body but that's a never-ending battle and it's useless to hope it will change. The outfit is amazing.

The Mackie style is static. Nothing new; nothing innovative-just more glitter, sequins, feathers and glitz. There have been a few stunners but it's time to end the line IMO.
Byron Lars on the other hand, is a designer with a vision and a feel for style. His work changes and evolves. I may not like everything he does but at least there's something happening.

Oddly.... I kind of like that Vampire Queen of Hearts / Countess Dracula.

The Model Muse bodies have got to go, though. Mattel must have made 12 billion of them. Ann Driskill and Bob Mackie together? Two great minds.. make a mess? LOLShe is interesting. About $19.99 interesting. I would repaint her teeth out.

I adore this Byron Lars doll, the fashion is outrageous and that is why I like it so much! I rarely order dolls based on promo shots, but once she is out and I can see owner pics of her, I will likely buy this doll! Smashing!

If Mattel really wanted to do Vampire dolls they should talk with Anne Rice, now those vampires I'd buy.

It looks like vampire with an afterthought with that Mackie doll, I mean just cover up the fangs and she looks just like every other doll he's produced. There's nothing about her that really pertains to vampires other than her fangs.

The Byron Lars doll is edgy, fun, and beautiful. I really love her face. Too bad they didn't give her a better body, but she may be my first Barbie purchase in well over a year. The Mackie vamp it's just pure tacky Mackie no surprise there.

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a few years ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
